    One tip: Put a paint tray into plastic bag and then pour paint on it, that way you never need to clean a paint tray. When finished, just turn the bag the other way around, used paint will be in a bag and your paint tray is clean.

    Hi, Can I use a watered down acrylic ceiling paint, like at around 30% added water, as covering layers underneath before putting a final non-diluted layer as the top coat? Will the thinner coats of paint underneath compromise the longevity of the paint job even though the top coat is non-diluted? Let’s say I put the watery paint on a wall to cover it twice and then put a final top coat of non-diluted wall paint. Is that ok?

    • @thinkreno
      @thinkreno  2 місяці тому

      Up to the individual painter, but if you roll first, you can see how close you can get to the wall and then have less to cut in. It’s how the professional painters I know do it! Saves time.

    Thank you for the information,
    We are doing a project . And the painter sprayed the ceiling( huge flat ceiling with 4 windows/ 48’x22’). After that the electrician did some patches. My question is, can we roll the patches or we have to spray it?
    Thanks

    • @thinkreno
      @thinkreno  2 роки тому +1

      It will never look exactly like a sprayed job, but you can roll it. Best to use a sponge type roller to get the smoothest finish you can. Do several thin coats

      The best tip I can give you is don’t cheap out on the paint. Makes a huge difference. You can put 10 coats of crappy ceiling paint on any direction you like and it’ll never look good. Go to your local paint store and ask them for the best flat ceiling paint they carry. Sometimes even one coat is enough with the good stuff
